This paper reports on the Kofa Unit 4 North Wilderness Study Area, in the Castle Dome Mountains of Arizona, underlain by Tertiary volcanic rocks that have been deformed by northwest-trending normal faults. The study area has inferred resources of zeolite minerals, which have been mined within the study area. The resource potential for additional zeolite minerals is high in three small areas surrounding the known zeolite occurrences and is unknown in areas of silicic lava flows or intrusions that may include thin altered tuff. The resource potential is low for gold, solver, lead, and zinc throughout the study area and for geothermal energy along range-bounding faults in the study area.
